Our 17th century property is located in beautiful Umbria in central Italy, close to the historic and artistic towns of Assisi, Perugia, Todi and Orvieto. Our farmhouse overlooks a lush valley of olive trees, crops and breathtaking views of ancient towns and hills. We raise sheep and chickens, and are also home to dogs and cats. The property also houses an Agriturismo (countryhouse) business.
We are embracing eco-sustainability and as such, we are striving to reduce and to eventually eliminate the use of natural gas on the property. Solar-energy is used for most of our electricity needs and in the future, for heating as well. Our home is currently heated with wood-burning stoves fuelled with the wood that is saved from trimming our forest of trees. All of our food scraps are saved for composting and for feeding the farm animals. Everything grown on the property is certified organic.
